I conducted an informal poll asking which decade readers of Pulaski’s Past would like to see this month, and the majority of those I asked wanted to travel back in time to the 1970s for the Christmas season. (As a 1973 baby, I did not argue with the results of the poll!) So welcome to December of 1974 – and what a lot of news there was to be shared during this first week of the month! This month 50 years ago, the nation was facing a crisis, and the effects were trickling down to Pulaski County. Local businesses were laying off some employees, electric and grocery bills were on the rise, and rumors of rations were circulating. Here’s what was newsworthy in Pulaski County this week in 1974, from the pages of The Commonwealth-Journal. Former Vice-President Spiro T. Agnew and an Indiana-based land speculator stand to become Pulaski County’s newest businessmen if a multimillion-dollar transaction with local attorney Lester Burns and his associates is completed. Walter J. Dilbeck — Evansville, Ind., speculator, promoter and developer and now a business partner with Agnew — arrived in Somerset yesterday morning to talk with several local persons interested in selling more than 13,000 acres of coal-producing land in the eastern part of the county and also a commercial business location north of Somerset. Dilbeck and local attorney Lester Burns met yesterday afternoon and talked to news media representatives about his intentions in Pulaski County. He listed the business interests of Mt. Victory Coal Company and the commercial businesses in Country Village as the largest of his intended ventures in Pulaski County. Dilbeck would not pinpoint any monetary figures as to the price of his initial purchase in the county but did concede that it would “run into the millions” of dollars. ... “I’m not saying we definitely will purchase it (the coal fields), but it looks very good,” Dilbeck commented. He listed the probabilities of the purchase at “a realistic 70 per cent.” ... Another piece of property that Dilbeck has expressed interest in is the Country Village Development on North U.S. 27 where Ethard Jasper has been operating a truck-car lot, restaurant, mobile home dealership and truck garage for the past year. The developer said he was very much interested in making that property a part of the purchase but refused to disclose any future plans. Somerset General Electric Glass Plant this morning stopped its production lines for what will be a two-week period because of the nationwide recession and a slight decline in customer orders. The shutdown originally was scheduled for this week already, but indications from the plant this morning are that production won’t resume until December 16. However, neither Plant Manager George E. McCormick nor Bob Haney, specialist in employee and community relations, could be reached to confirm the report. Closing of the plant will affect 110 production employees. Some of the workers will complete their vacations during the period, and for the remainder, it means a temporary furlough. Production schedules apparently remain normal at most other industrial plants in the county. Plant managers say, however, that the situation changes day by day and no one is overly optimistic. Dan Schelker, the new manager of Crane Company, ... while admitting that he is not overly optimistic about next year, told the Somerset-Pulaski County Chamber of Commerce last Tuesday that “ ... we’ll hang in there.... operating at 85 to 90 per cent capacity.” ... Production remains normal at Cumberland Wood and Chair Corporation for the some 200 employees, Odell Merrick, president of the firm said this morning. Some workers had earlier been temporarily furloughed due to reduced orders, but production is back to normal, Merrick said. ... Joe Larson, manager of Lear Siegler, Inc., said officials of his company are constantly looking at the changing economic situation. “It’s a day to day thing... and it’s certainly not going to be better,” observed the LSI manager. He said some temporary layoffs on a day-by-day basis may be necessary. ... LSI recently furloughed some 125 production workers due to a decrease in orders from Ford Motor Company. Tecumseh Products Company last week laid off between 70 and 80 production workers, but Manager Lloyd E. Rohrback said the situation has stabilized and there are no immediate plans for additional cutbacks in the work force. ... The employment picture at Palm Beach Company has not changed, according to David Kirkby, plant manager. No more of the company’s approximately 500 workers have been laid off at this time, Kirkby said. Earlier, five persons had been furloughed at the men’s clothing factory. Two local grocery stores are taking steps to combat inflation through price “freezes” of certain store items. Somerset’s A&P Store will “freeze” the prices on more than 1,000 private label products at least until the end of the year, according to R.H. Reubenstahl, vice-president and general manager of the Louisville division. Somerset’s Kroger’s will likewise “freeze” the prices on 1,100 grocery items throughout the holidays, which will extend to February 1, 1975, according to William M. Greulich, director of retail operations. A&P will also institute an “early warning system” on price increases of products not covered by the freeze. This system will be keyed to a list which will be posted each week listing price increases such as those received from manufacturers. “Be Aware” shelf tags will spotlight the more frequently purchased items with the day the price is to be increased listed on the tag, Reubenstahl said. ... At Kroger’s, blue “price-freeze” shelf markers will identity for shoppers the products on which no price increases will be made for the two-month period, no matter what happens to the market, Greulich said. Electric bills are going up again for the some 28,000 members of the state’s largest electric cooperative, South Kentucky RECC. The spiraling costs of coal used in generating electricity will mean an increase in the fuel charge of consumers’ bills in December, and still another hike is slated for January, according to Herman Schoolcraft, manager of the cooperative that serves a 13-county area. In December the fuel charge will be 84 cents per 100 kilowatt hours (KWH), up seven cents from the previous month. Bills received in January will bear a 90 cent per 100 KWH fuel charge, Schoolcraft observed. The manager again emphasized that the fuel adjustment is to cover the skyrocketing price for coal; it is not additional profit for the cooperative. Schoolcraft also told The Commonwealth-Journal that the Public Service Commission of Kentucky has approved a curtailment plan for South Kentucky RECC Co-op to use in the event coal supplies approach “dangerously low levels and there are no other sources of energy available from connecting companies or power pools.” ... The curtailment plan is in two phases — a voluntary phase which is estimated to reduce power requirements by approximately 15 per cent, and a compulsory curtailment phase which is projected to reduce power requirements by another 20 per cent or more. Can the level of Lake Cumberland be stabilized to insure an influx of tourists into Pulaski County throughout next year? That’s the question a Somerset-Pulaski County Chamber of Commerce delegation will ask the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers this Thursday when they visit the Nashville district office. “We’re going to try to get the Corps to stabilize the lake level more than they did this year so that we can help the tourist business,” said Herman Schoolcraft, chamber president. The reason for the lowering of the lake has been to allow the Corps to make needed repairs to Wolf Creek Dam. ... “We need to utilize the lake to a good advantage,” Schoolcraft noted. “Rumors get spread up North that we don’t have any water, and this has an effect on the tourists. Lake Cumberland is still the second largest lake east of the Mississippi.” The City Hospital building may become a nursing home when it is replaced early in 1976 by the new Humana hospital now under construction. The Project Review Committee of the Lake Cumberland Comprehensive Health Planning Council Thursday night approved the city’s application to convert the 113-bed facility into a nursing home with 40 skilled nursing beds and 86 immediate care beds. ... “The city doesn’t relish getting into the nursing home business,” commented Mayor Dearl Whitaker, “...but it would be somewhere to go in case the city can’t sell the property.” He emphasized, however, that it is unlikely that the city would operate the nursing home as it presently does the existing hospital. “It would be under a lease agreement with somebody,” he pointed out, adding that a Certificate of Need for a nursing home might enhance the sale of the property to a private nursing home firm. ... If approved, the State Certificate of Need and Licensure Board would issue a Certificate of Need for the project some time in March. The Pleasant Hill Water District Commission decided Tuesday morning to extend its water lines to more than 160 persons in the Shafter-Slate Branch area of Pulaski County. The extension will include 18 to 20 miles in the Shafter-Slate Branch area and three and one-half miles on the Ringgold Road. The total cost of the addition will be $326,000, according to Jack Crawford, engineer for the water commission. ... L. Glen Neikirk, president of the commission, speculated that work would start in one or two weeks. “We believe they will start work immediately and the people will be receiving water soon,” he said. All telephone numbers in Faubush will have seven digit numbers by December 7, 1974.

The Ford administration, conceding that voluntary efforts to reduce oil imports have been unsatisfactory, may return to the policies that produced long lines at gasoline stations last winter. Treasury Secretary William E. Simon and Frank A. Zarb, the nominee to head the Federal Energy Administration, said Wednesday that one possible move to reduce petroleum consumption is to reimpose last winter’s fuel allocation plan. Their statements came at the same time the auto industry reported November sales fell 35 per cent, making it the second lowest level for the month in 15 years. The President’s Council of Economic Advisers also said Wednesday the national jobless rate will go above 7 per cent next year, but the rate of inflation will slow down. ... Zarb said it is possible the administration would limit oil imports effective Jan. 1. ... Chairman Alan Greenspan of the President’s Council of Economic advisers said layoffs, especially in the auto industry, are worse than anticipated. He said the jobless figures for November will show a “very significant increase” from October. He predicted a gradual easing of the inflation rate to an annual rate of 6 or 7 per cent by spring. U.S. inflation has been soaring at a rate of between 10 and 12 per cent during the past year.

Thirty-four-year-old John Rogers, a partner in the law firm of Aker & Rogers, made the announcement today. Rogers was born in Nancy, Ky., the son of John and Beulah Rogers, and grew up on a farm west of Somerset. ... Rogers graduated from Pulaski County High School, received his B.A. degree and Master’s degree from Eastern Kentucky University and his Juris Doctor from the University of Louisville Law School. He is a former teacher having taught one year at Hogue Elementary School and four years at Somerset High School. At SHS he taught government and social studies and served as debate coach. ... He presently is Parliamentarian of the Somerset Pulaski County Jaycees. ... In announcing his intentions to seek the seat presently held by Norman Farris, Rogers had this to say about politics and his upcoming Senate Race: “For almost half my life I have been a student, a teacher, and a participant in government and politics; and from the experiences I have gained, I believe I have the capabilities to represent the people of the Fifteenth Senatorial District. I firmly believe that we need some new people with new faces and new ideas; in other words, new blood to run for public office. I can supply the new ideas because this will be my first race for public office.” -Lavey Floyd announced Friday that he is a candidate for the post of state representative from the 83rd Legislative District. The district is made up of 43 of Pulaski County’s 48 precincts. ... A Republican, Floyd served three terms as a member of the House of Representatives before quitting the state office in 1973 to unsuccessfully seek the post of Pulaski County judge. ... “I know the needs of this county and I know how to work to fulfill the needs,” he commented. Floyd served as a magistrate on Pulaski Fiscal Court for 22 years prior to going to Frankfort. He won five consecutive four-year terms from the old Second District and was elected a sixth time from the realigned Second District. He resigned to run for the job of state representative after serving two years of his sixth term. Floyd was born in the Nancy community in 1906. His mother died when he was a baby and the family moved to Illinois. They returned to the Poynter section of Pulaski County to stay when he was 14 years old. -Two guitar classes will be offered at Somerset Community College beginning December 2.

The Mark 120 can store and display up to eight separate messages. ... “To the best of our knowledge, it is the only message center of its type in this part of the state,” Smiley remarked. “We’ll use it for stock market reports, grain price quotations and to publicize local events and civic activities.” A rotating logo of the First and Farmers National Bank is displayed at the top of the message center. “It will be a modern, flexible service to the people of the area, and we want them to stop by, observe the center and help us determine how it can best be utilized,” Smiley welcomed. -A large crowd attended the style show “Happy Holidays” Thursday night at Watsons.

Stock index futures across the board rose, policies signals boost market confidenceThe decision to bring Turan back into the fold is not without risks and challenges. The midfielder will have to prove his fitness and form to earn a place in a highly competitive team that is aiming for success on multiple fronts. Additionally, Barcelona's financial constraints and the need to free up space in the squad for new signings add further pressure on Turan to perform at a high level consistently.Hezbollah leaders also signalled tentative backing for the US-brokered deal, which offers both sides an off-ramp from hostilities that have driven more than 1.2 million Lebanese and 50,000 Israelis from their homes. An intense bombing campaign by Israel has killed more than 3,700 people, many of them civilians, Lebanese officials say. But while the deal, set to take effect early Wednesday, could significantly calm the tensions that have inflamed the region, it does little directly to resolve the much deadlier war that has raged in Gaza since the Hamas attack on southern Israel in October 2023 that killed 1,200 people. Hezbollah, which began firing scores of rockets into Israel the following day in support of Hamas, has previously said it would keep fighting until there was a stop to the fighting in Gaza. Here’s what to know about the tentative ceasefire agreement and its potential implications: – The terms of the deal The agreement reportedly calls for a 60-day halt in fighting that would see Israeli troops retreat to their side of the border while requiring Hezbollah to end its armed presence in a broad swathe of southern Lebanon. Us President Joe Biden said on Tuesday that the deal is set to take effect at 4am local time on Wednesday. Under the deal, thousands of Lebanese troops and UN peacekeepers are to deploy to the region south of the Litani River. An international panel lead by the US would monitor compliance by all sides. Mr Biden said the deal “was designed to be a permanent cessation of hostilities.” Israel has demanded the right to act should Hezbollah violate its obligations. Lebanese officials have rejected writing that into the proposal. Israel’s defence minister, Israel Katz, insisted on Tuesday that the military would strike Hezbollah if the UN peacekeeping force, known as Unifil, does not provide “effective enforcement” of the deal. – Lingering uncertainty A Hezbollah leader said the group’s support for the deal hinged on clarity that Israel would not renew its attacks. “After reviewing the agreement signed by the enemy government, we will see if there is a match between what we stated and what was agreed upon by the Lebanese officials,” Mahmoud Qamati, deputy chair of Hezbollah’s political council, told the Qatari satellite news network Al Jazeera. “We want an end to the aggression, of course, but not at the expense of the sovereignty of the state” of Lebanon, he said. The European Union’s top diplomat, Josep Borrell, said on Tuesday that Israel’s security concerns had been addressed in the deal also brokered by France. – Where the fighting has left both sides After months of cross-border bombings, Israel can claim major victories, including the killing of Hezbollah’s top leader, Hassan Nasrallah, most of his senior commanders and the destruction of extensive militant infrastructure. A complex attack in September involving the explosion of hundreds of walkie-talkies and pagers used by Hezbollah was widely attributed to Israel, signalling a remarkable penetration of the militant group. The damage inflicted on Hezbollah has come not only in its ranks, but to the reputation it built by fighting Israel to a stalemate in the 2006 war. Still, its fighters managed to put up heavy resistance on the ground, slowing Israel’s advance while continuing to fire scores of rockets, missiles and drones across the border each day. The ceasefire offers relief to both sides, giving Israel’s overstretched army a break and allowing Hezbollah leaders to tout the group’s effectiveness in holding their ground despite Israel’s massive advantage in weaponry. But the group is likely to face a reckoning, with many Lebanese accusing it of tying their country’s fate to Gaza’s at the service of key ally Iran, inflicting great damage on a Lebanese economy that was already in a grave condition. – No answers for Gaza Until now, Hezbollah has insisted that it would only halt its attacks on Israel when it agreed to stop fighting in Gaza. Some in the region are likely to view a deal between the Lebanon-based group and Israel as a capitulation. In Gaza, where officials say the war has killed more than 44,000 Palestinians, Israel’s attacks have inflicted a heavy toll on Hamas, including the killing of the group’s top leaders. But Hamas fighters continue to hold scores of Israeli hostages, giving the militant group a bargaining chip if indirect ceasefire negotiations resume. Hamas is likely to continue to demand a lasting truce and a full Israeli withdrawal from Gaza in any such deal. Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas offered a pointed reminder on Tuesday of the intractability of the war, demanding urgent international intervention. “The only way to halt the dangerous escalation we are witnessing in the region, and maintain regional and international stability, security and peace, is to resolve the question of Palestine,” he said in a speech to the UN read by his ambassador.

Brighton star Joao Pedro would have earned an "easy" red card against Brentford if his elbow connected with Yehor Yarmoliuk's head, claims Mark Clattenburg . Pedro was lucky to avoid an early bath during Brighton's 0-0 draw with Brentford after appearing to show frustration during a duel with Yarmoliuk, swinging his arm around towards the Ukrainian after he pulled at his shirt but narrowly missing. VAR officials reviewed the footage but opted not to send Pedro off, with the Premier League later releasing a statement explaining why he avoided punishment. "The referee’s call of no red card to Joao Pedro for violent conduct was checked and confirmed by VAR, who deemed the referee’s call was not clear and obviously wrong," the statement read. Former Premier League referee Clattenburg agreed with the decision, but warned that it would have been an "easy" decision for referee Andy Madley if Pedro had made any contact. Clattenburg said: "If we look at the laws of the game as it's written, it has to be to strike an opponent or attempt to strike an opponent. Because there was no contact he can't be sent off the field of play for the contact. Therefore, it's whether he attempted to strike the opponent. The more I look at it, because it's an unusual action, especially from behind he is looking towards Andy Madley when he swings his arm. He keeps his arm quite close to his body and I think it's more of a gesture to the referee. "Andy Madley is in a very good position. He couldn't have been sent off for the contact but he could have been sent off for the attempted contact. I believe it's a gesture more than an attempted strike. "I think Joao Pedro makes a gesture to the referee but if he wanted to swing and use brutality he would have swung his arm out and created contact." Co-commentator Andy Townsend added on Prime Video: "I don't believe Joao Pedro should be red carded for this but he can't be throwing his elbow out like that." Fans were left baffled by the decision, however, and said the intent from Pedro meant he should have been sent off. One fan wrote on Twitter : "It's madness that anyone can look at that and say it's not a red." Another said it was irrelevant that Pedro hadn't made contact, saying: "That's far worse than [Jhon] Duran's yesterday. When it's that deliberate, does the connection really matter?" A third sarcastically wrote: "Good to know that players can throw punches now as long as they miss they’ll be fine", and a fourth added: "A disgrace. Red card all day. Intent was clear." The result continues Brighton's poor recent form, which extends to six games without a win as Pedro was unable to inspire them to a much-needed three points. It also prolonged a sticky patch of form for Brentford and meant they still haven't won an away game in all nine matches on their travels this season.
